I would bet a paychecque that there are some important places that probably can't take a 10% hit. The FPS has grown. But unfortunately little has been done to actually address some of those shortages in highly skilled jobs.

These are some contradictory ideas. You want to create randomness but also exempt those whose function you agree with. All you will end up doing is encouraging as many people as possible to try and define their jobs as safety critical. Instead of that, why not eliminate the policies you disagree with and get rid of the staff working on those policies entirely?

Your method is just as chaotic. Your random selection may end up firing the most senior people or even the director.
It's okay to admit that these ideas are like communism: good on paper and shit in real life.
I actually don't think the CPC will implement an automatic 10% cut this time. I think they already know which departments are going to get the real hammer blows. After all, even folks on here can think of policy areas they think are useless.
